What is Bowen Technique?

Bowen Therapy is a form of bodywork. During a session, you will lie relaxed and as comfortable as possible on a treatment table. The therapist will apply a series of gentle movements on and over your muscles, nerves, tendons and fascia. Pauses of time between sets of these movements are given to allow your body to respond and let go of negative patterns. Bowen Therapy's beneficial effects are usually felt immediately. Follow up treatments are generally scheduled a week apart. Most clients will see positive results within 3-5 sessions.
